If you have a User Management button in the left navigation panel of ECS, you're a Delegated Administrator for your employer entity. This means you are a main user, and that you have certain responsibilities. Delegated Administrators have the ability to add new users, reset passwords or make users inactive who are no longer using ECS. You are required to keep this information current per your user agreement with OPERS.

One of the most important of these responsibilities is to ensure proper procedure is followed if you leave your position. If you're the only person at your employer who uses ECS and you vacate your position, you must create a new user ID for your replacement prior to having your ECS profile disabled. Instructions for modifying users are available in this help system, or call the Employer Outreach Call Center at 1-888-400-0965

Information to Give to Users You Create:

If you create a new user, you'll want to pass along certain information. Because of ECS security procedures, the new user will need to use his or her temporary password on the first login, and will then be prompted to change it. He or she will also need to accept the user agreement at this time.

You should also explain to new users the contents of your entity's contract with OPERS, and the importance of protecting user IDs and passwords to avoid compromising security.
